This committee was charged with addressing whether asbestos exposure is causally related to adverse health consequences in addition to asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. Asbestos: Selected Cancers presents the committee's comprehensive distillation of the peer-reviewed scientific and medical literature regarding association between asbestos and colorectal, laryngeal, esophageal, pharyngeal, and stomach cancers. 606 $aAsbestos$xPhysiological effect 606 $aCancer 606 $aCarcinogens 606 $aHealth risk assessment 606 $aEnvironmentally induced diseases 606 $aAsbestosis 615 0$aAsbestos$xPhysiological effect. 615 0$aCancer. 615 0$aCarcinogens. 615 0$aHealth risk assessment. 615 0$aEnvironmentally induced diseases. 615 0$aAsbestosis. 676 $a363.17/91 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Asbestos: Selected Health Effects. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960175603321 996 $aAsbestos$91120593 997 $aUNINA
